MUSKEGON, Mich. — To Muskegon County Sheriff’s Deputy John Jenkins, it sounded like “a hammer on concrete” when jail inmate Terry Wesley Raap suddenly slammed him in the side of the head with a brick-like chunk of concrete in a sock.

To Deputy Thomas Geoghan, who said he was standing eight to 10 feet away, it sounded like this: “Melon getting smashed ... pumpkin. Terrible.”

Jenkins and Geoghan testified Tuesday, Oct. 8, at Raap’s preliminary examination in Muskegon County’s 60th District Court.
